Shower tray repair in Ribbleton, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Ribbleton: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ribbleton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PR2 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ribbleton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ribbleton
If you manage property in Ribbleton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
